I realize your post is old however I decided to contact you and see if you have gotten any further in your search. Included in the book you reference is Abijah Rice son of William Rice b 1756 d 1753 and Phoebe Huggins they were married in 1776. There is also a book by Joseph Harvey Vance that lists this family. And on ancestry you will find information including a will for William Huggins jr from I believe 1824-that lists his children. You can also find this will on familysearch Greene Co., PA probate records-online. His father is said to be William Huggins Sr. Another Huggins is Elizabeth Huggins b 1737 Clough, Antrim Co., Ireland who married Samuel Fordyce I believe in NJ. Elizabeth dies in 1814 and is buried Shanon Run, Greene Co., PA.
I am looking into the Huggins family and would like to know if you learned of the children for your William Huggins-it is the same one referenced for my Phoebe Huggins and the pages from the book you reference are attached also in ancestry to the families of Abijah Rice son of William and Phoebe Huggins Rice. Also there is a Gilbert family-abijah Rice married Rachel Gilbert-this would be the line I am searching.
